Sigerson Cup 2011 - live scores

GAA_Punter · February 16, 2011, 08:34:34 AM

The Sigerson Cup draw has again thrown up some very interesting first round games.

As always, a couple of shocks are on the cards in the early rounds, as teams will be motivated by the fact that a win on Thursday will qualify them for the showpiece Sigerson Cup Weekend at Belfield on the first weekend in March. (Unfortunately, the final of the competition has also been confirmed as being in Belfield, despite an offer from GAA President Christy Cooney to make Croke Park available for the Centenary Sigerson Cup Final this weekend).

On the field, the meetings between University of Ulster, Jordanstown and Cork IT, St. Mary's Belfast and DCU and NUI Maynooth and Queens University are billed as the ties of the round, while the meeting of IT Dublin and University of Limerick is sure to attract plenty of attention with a certain Kerry man set to begin his studies, and restart his Sigerson Cup career at Grangegorman.

University of Ulster Jordanstown against Cork IT, the tie of the round in many people eyes, brings face to face the competition winners of 2009 and 2008. Few will be brave enough to make a definitive call on the game; this one could require extra time, with the winners sure to be a force to be reckoned with at the weekend.

Last year's winners DCU host St. Mary's University College, and after a 2-13 to 2-12 Ryan Cup victory for the hosts earlier in the year, will know that they will need to be on top of their game to stop the Belfast outfit causing an upset. Encouraging performances in the Dr. McKenna Cup, especially against Armagh, will have instilled confidence in St. Marys, and DCU's early exit, losing comprehensively to Kildare, will not have helped preparations for the Glasnevin outfit, who normally take the competition seriously as preparation for Sigerson.

NUI Maynooth will hope for a repeat of their giant killing exploits of last years campaign, when then they caused the shock of the competition by beating UUJ at this stage. Another Ulster powerhouse make the trip South this week, with Queens University the opposition. Not being able to partake i.............

I see UL beat DIT? Good result if so.

Zulu · February 17, 2011, 03:41:31 PM

That UUJ/CIT score is a bit of a shock is it not? I'm not saying CIT would have been expected to win it but I would have thought it would be close. Have CIT lost that many players?

And UL beat DIT?

?? I thought they were favourites and UL were hammered in the league by both UCC and CIT were they not?
